The InSight lander carried an Instrument Deployment System (IDS) that included an
Instrument Deployment Arm (IDA), scoop, five finger “claw” grapple, forearm-mounted …

Mars' magnetic field has been measured at large scale by orbiting spacecraft and at very
small scale via Martian meteorites. Here we report on a ground magnetic survey on metre to …

Intrinsic magnetic fields were once commonplace across our Solar System, and many
planetary bodies have sustained active dynamos to the present day. The nature and …

Understanding the longevity of Mars's dynamo is key to interpreting the planet's atmospheric
loss history and the properties of its deep interior. Satellite data showing magnetic lows …

The Red Planet is a magnetic planet. The Martian crust contains strong magnetization from a
core dynamo that likely was active during the Noachian period when the surface may have …

Craters on Mars are a window into Mars' past and the time they were emplaced. Because
the crust is heated and shocked during impact, craters can demagnetize or magnetize the …

The magnetometer of the InSight mission operated on the Martian surface from November
2018 until May 2022. Previously, satellites have provided information on the Martian …

The thermal state of planetary crusts depends primarily on heat flow from the mantle to the
crust and the depth-integrated radioactive heat generation in the crust. The latter scales with …

The electron density of the Martian ionosphere is modulated by solar wind forcing and
crustal magnetic fields. Sounding observations from the orbital Shallow Radar (SHARAD) …

The era of helicopter-based surveys on Mars has already begun, creating opportunities for
future aerial science investigations with a range of instruments. We argue that …
